Building on the legacy of Drs. Suzanne D. Dixon and Martin T. Stein, Dixon and Stein’s Encounters with Children, Fifth Edition offers a unique, how-to approach to understanding the developmental stages of childhood. This essential pediatric reference provides practical strategies for today’s clinicians who interact with children and families.
Unlike traditional pathology-focused pediatrics texts, this compact volume examines typical child development, offering expert guidance on:
- Developmental stages from infancy to adolescence
- Developmental challenges faced by children
- Family wellbeing and social determinants of health
From the neonatal visit and newborn examination through the late adolescent years, this highly regarded resource delivers thorough, evidence-based guidance, emphasizing the importance of relationships in a child’s wellbeing. Its content is aligned with the well-child visit schedule, making it relevant for both new and experienced clinicians.
Now under the expert guidance of new editors, Drs. Jenny Radesky and Caroline Kistin, this edition includes:
-
- Child’s Perspective: Numerous children’s drawings and quotes that bring the child’s viewpoint into focus.
- New Chapter: Insights into the juvenile justice system and the school-to-prison pipeline, along with updates that are inclusive of BIPOC families, LGBT families, and those experiencing poverty.
- Expert Guidance: Strategies for promoting parent-child attachment, equitable school readiness, and supporting families through traumatic experiences.
